Floral Altered Box

Every time I spend time with my crafty friends, I always get inspired to be creative. Today was no different. I had started the paper covering part of the box previously. Today I finished it.

The paper and embellishments came from the Lost and Found collection from My Mind's Eye.

This is the top of the box. I love birds, so I had to bling out the bird cage. I also tried something new. I created a flower using a zipper. The zipper came off the roll pretty curly, so making the flower was easy. Here is a closer look at the zipper flower.

The inside of the box was covered with another pattern piece of paper from the same line. I liked the scalloped ends of the paper, so I used it for the the sides of the inside.

The handle that was on the box was bamboo and I didn't think it went with my theme, so I changed the handle out for an off-white scalloped ribbon. I really like the way it came out. I hope you enjoy!
